http://www.keste.com/how-to-modernize-your-legacy-infrastructure-integrate-and-innovate-instead-of-rip-and-replace/#respondMon, 04 Dec 2017 21:36:17 +0000http://www.keste.com/?p=4012read more]]>There is an almost deafening buzz in the current technology climate about moving to the cloud. The cloud, be it public, private, hybrid, or a combination thereof, promises unprecedented agility, scalability, flexibility, cost savings, and more, and the exodus in that direction can be felt at nearly every level of the IT organization specifically and the business as a whole.

For every application that gets switched to a SaaS model, there is another legacy system that continues to labor away in a data center. Inventories. Financials. ERPs. These are serious solutions with intimidating footprints that cannot simply be ported over into an as-a-service version of their previous selves.

This scenario puts IT teams in an interesting position. They want to move to cloud. More specifically, they want to meet business expectations and mandates for digital services and experiences, and cloud is often the best way to do that. But you can’t just abandon the systems of record on which their back-ends are built.

The answer lies somewhere in between: building bridges and outposts that connect cloud technology and the services it enables to the data and power of your existing back-end systems.

Enter the Digital Hub

The Keste integration with Salesforce.com is quite simply the fastest way to become a digital business. You probably already have a system (or systems) of record, which you don’t particularly want to rip and replace. You need a way to connect the two worlds and build those bridges in a fast, cost-effective way.

That’s where Keste comes in. We are your cloud enabler. We seamlessly integrate your legacy systems with your modern digital hub; often, but not exclusively, Salesforce. It’s not quite as easy as “plug and play” – these integrations are tailored to your business, not off-the-shelf – but we do leverage our 15+ years of expertise, lessons learned from countless implementations, and reusable accelerators to deliver solutions that modernize your infrastructure for the minimal possible investment.

This integration becomes your digital hub: the link between your legacy applications and innovative, unified digital experiences. It’s the key to unlocking both the power of your old infrastructure and the opportunities of the cloud. And for many businesses, it is – or should be – Salesforce.com.

Cloud Enablement Across Sales, Service, and Communities

From its deep and broad sales functionality to its innovations around customer service, partner portals, communities, CPQ, and more, Salesforce gives you the foundation to start your digital journey. But Salesforce can’t be your only answer. Keste is the layer that allows you to complete your transformation.

What does this look like in practice? Most organizations end up standardizing on a cloud-enabling platform. Sure, there will be other, independent SaaS apps here and there, but for business-critical applications and a front-end layer that integrates and facilitates back-end operations, Keste provides solutions that offer the capabilities and economies of scale that make sense.

Let’s look at some examples.

Sales: Salesforce’s bread and butter is standard operating procedure for us, too. We integrate and automate the entire sales process from end-to-end, customizing it for your business. That may mean upgrading processes like tracking leads and contracts or running forecasts from spreadsheets to SFDC, or creating a more integrated, powerful mobile experience that connects Salesforce to your legacy applications, or customizing your dashboards and reports. Whatever your sales team needs to become a digital workforce, we can help.

Customer service: The Salesforce Service Cloud opens up tremendous opportunities for improving customer service, but the magic doesn’t just happen without some back-end assistance. We can integrate your Service Cloud with your financial system so that customer service reps have the information they need at their fingertips. With the right connections, CX becomes seamless: a customer calls in to order something, for instance, and the rep already knows everything about their account. Features like Live Agent, chat, smart routing, knowledge base, and more also fall into this bucket and require additional services to get up and running in an optimal way.

Communities: The Salesforce platform ingeniously unites user communities with sales and customer service to become a digital experience hub. From employees to partners to customers, we help make these communities unique, full-featured, and part of your overall ecosystem. Keste’s CPQ expertise plays a particularly strong role here; we can integrate CPQ into partner communities, for example, so partners can offer quotes on-demand.

Your digital hub isn’t just a pretty façade on top of your legacy applications. The platform, and the connective tissue between it and your systems of record, need to serve up user-friendly experiences while leveraging all the power of your existing data and infrastructure. At Keste, we deliver the integrations – and more importantly the innovation – to make the cloud-enabled future your current reality.

We strive for good feedback from not only our customers but also from our Oracle representatives we partner with. In the interview below, Tara Palmierie, Oracle Senior Manager of Cloud Specialized Solution Sales, North America Alliances Channels, speaks to how Keste works to differentiate ourselves as an Oracle partner.

“Keste is very customer centric and Oracle sales and product management teams love the fact that we know that when we go to Keste, we’re always going to have a great experience and great journey to cloud.”

Tara’s statements on how we are the “partner of the future” are exactly what we like to hear because they are exactly what we center our business around:

Providing repeatable solutions to speed up value for our customers

Being the face and trusted friend and advisor for implementations

Providing a roadmap and a clear path for everyone involved

We take pride in providing the care and support Oracle reps and customers need. As Tara says, the “sky is the limit with Keste” and we aim to continue to be one of Oracle’s top partners for years to come.

The analysts have been talking about it for a while. This year, the press jumped on the bandwagon. Vendors are hot on their heels, positioning their offerings as a critical part of your multi-cloud strategy.

Some of this is the inevitable hype cycle. Some, however, is a reflection of a very real shift in how organizations are thinking about and implementing cloud computing technology. Whether you’re just transitioning from a traditional infrastructure to a hybrid cloud model or are already running your workloads on a variety of clouds, the future does not include one cloud to rule them all.

What does this look like in practice? In short, a return to best-of-breed. Organizations have come to the (correct) conclusion that they can’t get everything from one supplier, and that even if they could, it is more beneficial and cost-effective to put together a custom, integrated solution. Our clients are running Oracle as their ERP, Salesforce for CRM, Workday for HR, and many more specialty apps across the company in unique and endlessly customized combinations.

This is one of those pendulums that swings back and forth in the IT industry. We’ve all seen it happen: everyone moves to consolidate vendors and platforms to make life easier, then ten years later, when that didn’t work, we’re back to a point-solution approach – rinse and repeat.

The latest incarnation of the best-of-breed approach, however, is different. Attempting to connect all of the required moving pieces used to be a disaster. The integration products and connectivity capabilities weren’t mature enough to make a truly integrated best-of-breed strategy successful. Cloud changed that. The world is now flat and software is commoditized. We consume everything as a service and can get the best combination of feature/functionality for our business at the best price.

Which brings us back to multi-cloud. You’re now running X number of cloud apps to meet your various business needs in the most productive, affordable way. Integrations and connectivity have caught up, so it’s not only possible to connect them all, it’s a necessity. And that’s where it gets messy.

How to navigate your multi-cloud environment

Each of your clouds (and your on-prem applications – there will still be things left in the data center) needs to communicate with the rest so that your infrastructure works seamlessly, securely, and with optimal performance. You need to be able to mix-and-match the components of your ecosystem with agility and flexibility, including adding and subtracting pieces with relative ease. Shadow IT must be reined in and incorporated into the rest of the system. And all of this must occur with an exacting focus on both empowering the business and ensuring the security, availability, scalability, and performance of your systems.

Easier said than done, right?

That’s where we come in. At Keste, we understand the landscape of multi-cloud options and can help you not only choose the best building blocks for your strategy, but help you integrate them efficiently and effectively. We are historically an Oracle shop, and that expertise runs deep, but we can and do integrate anything with anything. From our partners Oracle and Salesforce to the big guys like Amazon and Microsoft to the perfect SaaS startup solution for your organization, we bring perspective and competitive intelligence to your multi-cloud environment.

In the coming weeks on this blog, we will focus on the critical components of a multi-cloud strategy – what they are, why they matter, and how to implement them. We’ll take a deep dive into topics including:

UX: how to create usable business systems on top of your complex infrastructure.

Analytics: techniques for consolidating, managing, and benefiting from your data.

Disaster Recovery: ensuring business continuity in a multi-cloud world.

Multi-cloud has arrived, and we’re excited about helping businesses usher it in. Get in touch to discuss how we can help navigate your multi-cloud strategy.

http://www.keste.com/kestes-top-moments-from-dreamforce-2017/#respondWed, 15 Nov 2017 16:02:59 +0000http://www.keste.com/?p=3980read more]]>Every year Dreamforce promises a whirlwind of people, ideas, and technology, and this year was no different. Dreamforce 2017 delivered the usual crazy crowds, speakers to remember, useful sessions, great parties and opportunities to connect with old friends and new – plus, of course, all the Salesforce information and inspiration that you possibly could ask for.

At Keste, we were particularly tuned in to the event’s theme of trailblazing. “Trailblazing” is a wonderful, evocative word for what we aspire to help our clients achieve. Forging your own unique path to digital transformation, complete with both old and new systems and, perhaps most importantly, the connections between them, is nothing if not blazing a trail. It was exhilarating to hear so many stories from trailblazers within and outside of the Salesforce family, and learn so many new ways to keep blazing trails for our clients and our own organization.

With that in mind, here are some of the top moments we’ll remember from Dreamforce 2017:

1. Force to be reckoned with. Salesforce proved again that they are nowhere close to slowing down. On top of having the tallest building west of the Mississippi and paving the way to being a $20 billion company, they are still constantly releasing new products and solutions. Dreamforce had a huge focus on Einstein, Communities, and Lightning. Check out how Keste leverages Salesforce products.

2. Using technology in a meaningful way. Being that this is a technology conference, it was great to hear Ashton Kutcher’s take on using technology for good. If you had asked us before Dreamforce whether Ashton Kutcher would make our top ten list, the answer probably would have been no. But the actor and co-founder of Thorn, an organization that uses technology to fight child trafficking and exploitation, was downright inspiring.

3. 49ers Dreamforce Kickoff Tailgate. Keste, Salesforce reps, customers, and friends gathered for food and fun before watching the San Francisco 49ers take on the Arizona Cardinals. We built a sense of community with everyone there which was a great way to relax before a productive week ahead!

4. Velvet Room Party. We had a blast at our Monday night Dreamforce “After Party!” Keste and Vlocity partnered together to host over 300 people at the beautiful Clift Hotel Velvet Room. We danced into the following day with fabulous cocktails, late night snacks, and most importantly, fabulous guests. If you were able to join us, did you SEE the DJ’s glasses?!

5. Breakfasts and lunches at the Educated Palate. Other than being a great name for a restaurant, the Educated Palate provided a delicious home base for our series of Quickstart Breakfasts and Lunch & Learns. We covered specific topics like modernizing insurance contact centers and inspiring your customers with Salesforce Communities, as well as overall themes like increasing engagement, improving speed, adding more value and driving channel growth.

6. Day 3’s product keynotes. Let’s not forget that this was a technology conference, and as a Salesforce Gold Consulting partner, we welcomed the opportunity to dig into the tech itself. Day 3 offered up some first-rate product keynotes on Sales Cloud, the newly-rebranded Lightning Platform, Commerce Cloud (complete with a very charming golden retriever), and Success Cloud. As Keste CEO Howard Moore mentioned to CRN, Salesforce is delivering “the economics to leverage their licensing under the hood,” allowing partners to build components, package them, and deliver them on AppExchange. Keste has done just that, leveraging its expertise in product configuration, Salesforce Community Cloud and CPQ (Configure Price Quote) to build over 50 Bolt solutions, with even more in the works.

7. Dreamfest and the Keste happy hour that preceded it. Lenny Kravitz and Alicia Keys put on an incredible show, but we think we put up a fight with our Bar VIA happy hour. We had a great time hosting over 80 people at the beautiful new Bar VIA space located directly across the street from AT&T stadium. Guests were able to enjoy a nice cocktail, glass of wine, and great food before heading into the concert.

8. Inspiring quotes from the Fortune CEO series. It’s impossible to catch every speaker and session at Dreamforce, but luckily Salesforce did a great job of summing up the most memorable moments from each day. Their “Top 5 Takeaways from Dreamforce Day 2” blog includes some thought-provoking quotes from the Fortune CEO series around authenticity, growth, and customer experience.

9. Giving back. We loved seeing Salesforce’s #Trailheart take off, where thousands gave back throughout the entire week of Dreamforce. Salesforce reported raising $15 million for the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals at Dreamfest and $1 million for Girl Scouts, Upwardly Global, and World Vision in the Dreamforce Quest. Salesforce also provided opportunities for attendees to donate their time, including packing backpacks for hurricane victims.

10. Unbeatable networking. At Keste, we’re always looking for smart, motivated people to join our team, and Dreamforce was filled with them. At each of our hosted events and the various formal and informal sessions and conversations we had throughout the week, we met interesting people with stories to tell. The Keste team isn’t complete yet so if you know Salesforce, we’re hiring.

That’s a wrap on Dreamforce 2017 for Team Keste. We’d love to hear what you found most exciting and share how we can help you turn that inspiration into a reality.

Now that cloud computing has become an established part of the IT lexicon, firmly rooted in reality instead of buzz, different flavors of cloud have taken its place in the hype cycle. We’ve all become familiar with public, private, and hybrid cloud, but what about the latest buzzword: multi-cloud?

The analysts have been talking about multi-cloud for a while; Forrester declared that “A Clear Multicloud Strategy Delivers Business Value“ two years ago, in 2015. But the term has taken a while to catch on in conversation, perhaps because we’re all a little tired of keeping up with all these different variations on a theme. Isn’t multi-cloud the same as hybrid cloud? If not, what’s the difference?

Multi-cloud defined

Technopedia defines multi-cloud deployment as “the use of two or more cloud computing systems at the same time. The deployment might use public clouds, private clouds, or some combination of the two. Multi-cloud deployments aim to offer redundancy in case of hardware/software failures and avoid vendor lock-in.”

Gigaom continues“The use of multi-clouds has evolved from patterns of architecture. Many business departments want to use cloud computing within public clouds, outside of the company firewall. Historically IT created private clouds connected to data centers. Hybrid clouds are a combination of the two models. Today we have many different types of public and private clouds that provide security, governance, and management tools to support other clouds and get combined to create a composite solution.”

The Gigaom explanation hints at an important distinction: multi-cloud and hybrid cloud are similar, but not the same.

What’s the difference between multi-cloud and hybrid cloud?

As referenced above, hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private clouds, used within the same organization. A hybrid cloud model uses two or more types of cloud or hosting infrastructure – usually public and private – toward the same task or application in order to optimize cost, performance, security, and more. Because the different types of cloud are being used for the same purpose, data and processes tend to intermingle. The organization may rely on a public cloud for web services while storage resides in a private cloud, for instance, but both are working towards the same function and compute resources can be swapped between them as necessary.

In a multi-cloud model, the objectives and the data of each cloud remain separate with no orchestration between them. Multiple cloud services are delivered from multiple cloud providers in any mix of public, private, or hybrid deployments and remain in their own lane, as opposed to the intermingling of a hybrid cloud (a hybrid cloud, however, may be one cloud in a multi-cloud environment.) Multi-clouds typically arise organically as marketing relies on one SaaS platform for their needs, software development relies on another, and IT looks to services like AWS and Azure.

The path to the multi-cloud

Enough semantics. Does the exact definition and difference between hybrid and multi-cloud really matter? Well, yes, if you want to sound like you know what you’re talking about. But it’s admittedly not nearly as important as the big picture: the path to a strategic, successful cloud strategy. That strategy will probably include hybrid clouds and it will almost definitely be multi-cloud (more than 74% of businesses are already moving to a multi-cloud strategy.) It will likely involve your data center and some on-premises assets and applications, too. It is the future – and it’s a messy one.

In fact, there’s a good chance that you’re already running multiple clouds alongside your traditional IT infrastructure. If you’re not, you will be soon. That means IT workloads are, quite literally, everywhere. This model comes with tremendous benefits for performance, scale, security, and more. A multi-cloud environment prevents vendor lock-in, minimizes risk, and cuts costs. It allows you to pick and choose the best-of-breed components that make the most sense for your business.

It also, however, requires significant orchestration. All of those cloud services, on-premises assets, and everything in between need to work together both in the back-end and the front-end. They need to integrate smoothly and present a user-friendly UX to make the system live up to its potential. Without the right connective materials, it doesn’t matter how many ideal elements make up your environment – they need to talk to each other and your users in a way that adds business value.

That’s where Keste comes in. We’re the folks who can help you mix and match those puzzle pieces in the most efficient and effective way. We can integrate anything with anything so no matter what your multi-cloud is made of, we’ll ensure that you make the most of it.

Call it multi-cloud or just the modern IT landscape. Either way, it’s your current or future reality, and we’re here to help.
